Well,

Kathy seems to have gone AWOL !!

She may be in a different time zone so I will give her the benefit of the doubt.

Will come back to this when she returns.

Thank you for your input rootgatherer !!

Sorry for jumping in Girls but like, you I don't think that Harry Ditchfield is the correct man.

1911 Census with Harry Ditchfield (the only entry that shows for Harry Hurst and a birthplace of Manchester)

HOUSEHOLD HURST HARRY DITCHFIELD M 1891 20 Chorlton Lancashire


using the free search facility he appears to be the son of George and Sarah.

HOUSEHOLD HURST ETHEL F 1883 28 Chorlton Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD HURST GEORGE M 1842 69 Chorlton Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD HURST JESSIE F 1885 26 Chorlton Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD HURST SARAH JANE F 1852 59 Chorlton Lancashire

If he married then this is the only Harry D marriage coming up on FreeBMD

Bown Francis G W Norman Ecclesall B. 9c 854
Hurst Harry D Saville Ecclesall B. 9c 854
Norman Dora M Bown Ecclesall B. 9c 854
Saville Elizabeth Hurst Ecclesall B. 9c 854


But that marriage is more likely to belong to this man

Hurst Harry Douglas Ecclesall B. 9c 466

So, I think that if Harry Ditchfield married then he must have married as plain Harry Hurst.

Yes u'r right, I was thinking maybe the Harry, ( born 1920 ) was the Harry that married Sophia but he died 1942 and his mother's name was Mayes???.
